The Appeal of the YA GenreBy Alecia Stone

I think it’s safe to say that the YA genre is one of the hottest categories in literature right now. I think the greatest appeal of the YA genre is the ability it has of attracting not only teenage readers but also readers of all ages. I definitely believe there is something in a YA novel for everyone. Whether you are a preteen reader, a teenager or an adult, there will most likely be something in a YA book that everyone will be able to relate to.

Some of the universal themes in YA novels allow readers of all ages to connect. Themes such as love, friendship, trust, identity, are all subject matters that many people either have experienced or will experience in their life. And, let’s be honest, YA novels are just plain fun to read. Whether you read it for the magic, mystery or the romance, when it’s good, it is really good. YA novels are ripe with emotions, and it is emotional responses that guide much of human behaviour, so it’s no surprise it has such a wide appeal.

Thanks for the chance to win this awesome book. I think it sounds interesting. I can’t wait to find out the two worlds are.I love YA because there isn’t a lot explicit sex of foul launguage. I may say it once ina while but I don’t like reading a book full of it.Alicia, congrats on the book. It sounds good.;-)

I find YA literature appealing for some obvious reasons. (a) I am indeed a teenager. (b)there’s a lot of stuff there about teenagers and I especially love YA contemporary because well… drama is still drama but the problems teens faced in books seemed amplified and therefore making life somehow looks easier(even if it’s not). (c) Besides, it’s fun to read about! :D

Congratulations on your debut, upcoming release, Alecia!I love YA because I get to share great stories with my son. I love the fact that the characters seem more innocent than the adult stories that I read. I think some in the YA genre focus more on the character development and their world.Thank you for the generous giveaway!

Thank you, Tina and Anonymous. It’s good that you share YA stories with your son, Tina. I always love sharing YA stories with others, particularly the audience it is targeted at. All the best to everyone who has entered the giveaway.
